Description
The scholarships for postgraduates will be known as the Oxford-Qatar-Thatcher
Graduate Scholarship and the Oxford-Thatcher Graduate Scholarships. The
Oxford-Qatar-Thatcher Graduate Scholarship has been created as a result of
a £3 million donation by the Qatar Development Fund, which supports
international education, health and economic development causes. This will
create at least four scholarships at both undergraduate and postgraduate
level, the first of which is expected to be awarded in 2017/18 to a postgraduate
student.
In the early years as we build up the number of Thatcher
Scholars, Somerville will operate a rota of departments/faculties for the
awards. In 2017/18, three scholarships will be available for students
starting postgraduate study, one in the Faculty of English Language and
Literature, the Department of Engineering Science and the Faculty of Law.
This scholarship is part of the Oxford Graduate
Scholarships, which were established through a ground-breaking new matched
funding initiative to enable the creation of fully-funded scholarships for
graduate students of the highest calibre from across the world. The
University contributes 40% of the funds for these scholarships, together with
60% from generous donations provided by supporters of Somerville College.
